Driving Quality Through Testing

Plastics and elastomers are used across numerous industries, from automotive to packaging and electronics. Each application demands that these materials perform reliably under specific conditions, whether it’s withstanding heat, stress, or chemical exposure. At Kiyo R&D, we focus on testing the characteristics that matter most for your products, giving manufacturers confidence that their materials will perform as expected in real-world applications.

Our Core Testing Services

We offer a wide range of plastic and elastomer testing services, each designed to evaluate critical material properties and ensure they meet industry standards. Some of our key services include:

• Flexural Testing:
  Flexural testing provides essential information on a material’s ability to resist deformation under load. By measuring the flexural strength and modulus, we help manufacturers determine how well their materials will hold up when subjected to bending or flexing forces. This data is valuable for industries such as automotive and aerospace, where materials are frequently exposed to stress under varying conditions.

• Flammability Testing:
  Safety is paramount when it comes to materials used in construction, electrical applications, or transportation. Flammability testing is crucial to understanding how a plastic or elastomer will behave in the event of a fire. We conduct a range of tests to assess ignition properties, burn rates, and self-extinguishing capabilities, ensuring materials meet regulatory safety standards.

• Melt Flow Rate (MFR) Testing:
  The melt flow rate of a material is a key indicator of its processability in manufacturing operations like injection molding or extrusion. By analyzing the MFR, we help manufacturers understand how easily their plastic or elastomer can be shaped and processed. This data allows for the optimization of production processes, leading to greater efficiency and reduced material waste.

• Thermal Testing: HDT and VSP:
  Thermal properties can make or break the performance of plastic and elastomer materials, especially in high-temperature environments. Our Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and Vicat Softening Point (VSP) testing services allow manufacturers to understand at what temperatures their materials will soften, deform, or fail under load. This is crucial for industries like automotive and electronics, where thermal resistance is key to product performance.

• Filler/Ash Content Testing:
  The precise composition of plastics and elastomers plays a significant role in their overall performance. Our filler and ash content testing helps manufacturers maintain consistent material quality by determining the amount of filler or ash present in a sample. This information is critical for ensuring that formulations remain within required specifications, leading to better product reliability and performance.
